I'm hoping Mangold did with The Wolverine what Spielberg did with A.I. - he shot Kubrick's script word for word.

I really hope so. Those scene descriptions were way beyond my initial expectations. I wondered if a Wolverine film would actually be made in this fashion. Murder plots, sex, debauchery. The ground certainly needs to be broken at some point for this kind of adaptation. It wouldn't happen at MS. Just another reason I'm pissed Fox lost Daredevil. No way something like Born Again could be done now. For various reasons.
